AT just nine years old, Portlander Ruby Smith has decided to lop off her golden locks for the second time, to be donated and made into a wig for someone in need.

On Friday, May 12, Ruby will be giving up around 36cm of her hair, in front of her fellow students at St John’s Lutheran Primary School.
